Streust du Dornen auf die Gassen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Streust du Dornen auf die Gassen,
Gehe nicht mit nackten Füßen;
Klagen soll nicht hören lassen,
Wen Verstand und Sinn verließen.
Ist der Winter angekommen,
Tau des Himmels ist gefallen;
Doch mir Armen kann nicht frommen
Keine Jahreszeit von allen.
Erde hat ihn aufgesogen,
Fiel herab der liebe Segen;
Nur für mich kommt nichts geflogen,
Weder Tau, noch Blumenregen.

If you scatter thorns upon the roads
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
If you scatter thorns upon the roads,
Do not walk with bare feet;
He who has lost sanity and sense
Should not let [his] lamenting be heard.
Winter has arrived,
Dew of heaven has fallen;
But for me, the poor one, there is
No time of year that of any use to me.
When the dear blessing fell,
The earth absorbed it;
Only for me nothing comes along,
Neither dew nor a rain of flowers.
